Themselves as tho Picturesque New
Resort.
Of THE EVENING SrAR.


FOREST GLEN, MONTGOMERY Co. NM Juiya
The colony OF Washingtoaians at Forest Glen
now numbers some lao, and we feel that our rep
resentaton from the city is sufi1cient In quality
X not In quantity, TO entite US co I've heard occa-
sionally during our temporary absence Every
morning we send contingent OF fathers hus-
bands, brothers, &c. 10 the city, and In the even
Ing the ladies and children SIT on the broad YER
andahs OF the hotel and watch for their return
as the trains rolling in TO the station which
Is seen through the vista OF the fine old trees As
tney come In from the hot air OF the city they tell
us that we look very picturesque, with the pretty
outlines OF the Queen Anne hotel as a back
ground and the thick foliage Of the forest as
tne frame work. but friends from the city oh-
serve that the hotel nesting In the wooded
heights Is picturesque and so perhaps &c
tended and not Ourselves srin y WE are ,o viad
10 see them after their brief absences The arrival
OF the evening trains Is an event IN the quiet
routine OF The summer days which We spend with
our children on the verandahs or wandering In the
woods where we can enjoy the beauties OF the
Glen, or sit by the side OF Rock Creek as it goes
gently murmuring over the stones, and then at
Intervals expanding into quiet pools, shaded by
the overhanging branches OF the great trees. We
see nature In one or her most attractive phases
here and We enjoy the rest and repose
which she alone can give. The Tired
workers from the city enjoy the cool nights, and
SO we are all gradually becoming very much at
tach TO Forest Inn. Then every week there is a
hop which Is entered into with a spirit nv all
uuttl Stt.nls 10 Us 10 nave always been lPra
and yet year ago, am told, the site which IL
now occupies was a dense forest The company
which bought the one hundred acres known AS
Forest Glen is composed, however, 81 young men,
and the enterprise which has effected such q
wonderful transformation In such a short time IL
due to their push and pluck. One OF their NUM-
Der, Mr.. A. L. Hensey, is the manager, and al
though he has had no experience I'm the
hotel business, his management has ELECTED the
hotel men who have visited the Inn JudeinS
from what seems 10 be an almost constant Inquiry
about the hotel, "where is MIR. Hensey9" he ought
TO have several bodies, but as II IL he marriages. 10
attend TO all the little details well as the great
ones which are connected with the management
OF a summer resort. Although the hotel has Iust
opened, the managers are already talking OF add
Ing another wing 10 accommodate the people who
would Ike TO come II there was only room. They
Will begin the erection AT once OF building for
bowling alley and billiard ROOM and another
building for dining room for children and ssrv.
ants as the present accommodations not ade-
quate. As this is a Washington enterprise en-.
tirely, and as the guests are all Washington peo-
pie, we all feel very proud or the hotel, and only
wish that there was more room for others or ouf
friends
